Summary of comparisons between phenotypic and genetic differentiation (P _ST-F _ST) among house sparrow populations in Israel.

Trait	P ST	Lower 95% CI	Upper 95% CI	Critical c/h 2	P ST-F ST
Body mass	0.313	0.176	0.539	0.079	P ST ≫ F ST
Wing length	0.253	0.109	0.445	0.131	P ST > F ST
Tarsus length	0.443	0.292	0.680	0.046	P ST ≫ F ST
Bill length	0.130	0.054	0.296	0.171	P ST > F ST
Bill width	0.000	0.000	0.118	—	P ST = F ST
Right cheek brightness	0.113	0.025	0.288	0.959	P ST > F ST
Left cheek brightness	0.130	0.009	0.352	—	P ST = F ST
Belly brightness	0.379	0.204	0.662	0.124	P ST ≫ F ST

P _ST value estimated for c = h ². Critical c = h ² calculated only for traits whose upper F _ST CI > lower P _ST CI. Upper F _ST CI value used for the five morphological traits was 0.016 (males and females), and 0.024 for color brightness trait (male-only F _ST).
